Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an absorbent article, such as a diaper, pants-type diaper, an incontinence guard or like article which includes a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable bottom sheet and an absorbent body disposed therebetween, wherein the top sheet includes a transverse barrier which divides the article into a front and a rear part and which is intended to prevent faeces discharged to the rear part of the article moving to the front part thereof.
  • transverse barriers for the purpose of preventing faeces from spreading to the front part of the diaper.
  • EP-A-0,355,740 teaches such transverse barriers, which are created either by fastening strings of plastic foam to the top sheet or by creating transverse folds or pleats with the aid of elastic devices which extend in the longitudinal direction of the diaper in the crotch region thereof and therewith gather the top sheet together in this region.
  • WO 94/14395 also teaches a corresponding type of transverse barrier in the outer sheet material.
  • the transverse barriers are intended to prevent faeces discharged to the rear part of the diaper spreading forwards in the diaper and dirtying the wearer's skin and genitals.
  • the barriers also prevent urine and faeces mixing together on the diaper surface, since it is a known fact that the skin is much more sensitive to a mixture of urine and faeces than to each of the two components per se.
  • Faeces contain certain enzymes which are believed to constitute an important factor in irritation of the skin.
  • Urine is also liable to produce ammonia in the presence of faeces, therewith increasing the Ph, which in turn increases the enzymatic activity of said enzymes.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article, such as a diaper or an incontinence guard, with which urine and faeces are kept separate most effectively both on the top sheet and in the underlying absorbent body. This object has been achieved by an absorbent article according to claim 1.
  • the diaper illustrated in Figure 1 includes a liquid-permeable casing sheet 1, made for instance from nonwoven or perforated plastic film, a liquid-impermeable casing sheet 2, made for instance from plastic film or hydrophobic nonwoven fabric, and an absorbent body 3 which is enclosed between the two casing sheets 1 and 2.
  • the diaper is intended to be worn around the lower part of the wearer's trunk as a pair of absorbent pants.
  • the diaper has a rear part 4 which, in use, lies rearwardly of the wearer, a front part which, in use, extends forwardly of the wearer, and a narrower crotch part 6 which is located between the rear part 4 and the front part 5 and which is intended to be placed in the wearer's crotch between the wearer's thighs.
  • fastener tapes 7 are provided in the proximity of the rear waist edge 8 of the diaper.
  • the fastener tapes or tabs 7 are fastened to the outer surface of the front diaper part 5, dose to the front waist edge 9, such as to hold the diaper together around the wearers waist.
  • fastening devices such as Velcro® fasteners, hooks and eyes, etc. are conceivable.
  • the diaper illustrated in Figure 1 also includes pre-tensioned elastic devices 10, which may be comprised of any suitable material, such as elastic foam, elastic ribbons, bands or covered elastic threads.
  • pre-tensioned elastic devices 10 may be comprised of any suitable material, such as elastic foam, elastic ribbons, bands or covered elastic threads.
  • the elastic devices have been shown in a stretched state in Figure 1. However, immediately the stretch in the elastic devices is relaxed, the devices will contract and therewith form elastic edges around the leg openings of the diaper.
  • the illustrated diaper is merely a non-limiting exemplifying embodiment.
  • the shape of the diaper and its construction in general may be varied.
  • the fastener devices i.e. the fastener tapes 7
  • the fastening devices are also omitted in so-called pant diapers or training pants.
  • a transverse barrier 11 is provided in the crotch region of the diaper and extends generally transversely to the longitudinal direction of the diaper.
  • the barrier has an upward extension (height) towards the wearer and is intended to prevent faeces spreading from the rear diaper part 4 to the front diaper part 5, and to prevent urine spreading along the top sheet 1 from said front part to said rear part.
  • the top sheet barrier 11 may extend transversely across the diaper in a straight or a curved line and may be constructed in a known manner and, for instance, consist in a fold formation in the top sheet or in separate strips of material mounted on the top sheet, such as strips of plastic foam or strips or nonwoven, which may optionally be provided with an elastic device along the outer free edge so as to impart a lifting effect to the strip.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 corresponds to the subject of Swedish Patent Application 9400916-4 (WO-A-9525493) and has a double casing sheet 1a and 1b on that side of the absorbent body 3 which lies proximal to the wearer in use, i.e. an inner casing sheet 1a which lies proximal to the absorbent body 3 and an outer top sheet 1b which lies proximal to the wearer in use.
  • the top sheet 1b may either be comprised of liquid-permeable or liquid-impervious skin-friendly material.
  • This diaper is also provided with leg elastic 10.
  • the top sheet includes two openings 12 and 13 which are elongated in the longitudinal direction of the diaper. That region 14 of the top sheet 1b which lies between the openings 12 and 13 is located between the faeces discharge point and the wetting point, i.e. those regions of the diaper in which faeces and urine are delivered thereto when the diaper is positioned correctly.
  • Two elastic threads 15, 16 are fastened in a stretched state to the top sheet 1b and extend from the front diaper part to the rear diaper part along the side edges of the openings 12 and 13 in the manner described in more detail in Swedish Patent Application 9400916-4 (WO-A-9525493).
  • a tubular body 17 is mounted in a flattened state in the top sheet region 14, between the top sheet 1b and the inner casing sheet 1a, and extends transversely between the points of attachment of the top sheet 1b to the bottom sheet 2 and the inner casing sheet 1a.
  • the top and bottom sides of the tubular body 17 are fastened respectively to the top sheet 1b and the inner casing sheet 1a with the aid of a glue bead, by ultrasonic welding or by like means, for instance.
  • the tubular body 17 may be comprised of a liquid-permeable or liquid-impermeable material and is preferably made of the same material as the bottom sheet, the inner casing sheet or the top sheet.
  • the barrier between the openings 12, 13 may alternatively be comprised of a single wall of flexible material which is mounted in a folded state between the inner casing sheet and the top sheet and fastened to said sheets in a manner corresponding to the fastening of the tubular body 17.
  • the barrier may alternatively be formed by pleats or folds produced in the inner casing sheet or in the top sheet, as also described in Swedish Patent Application 9400916-4 (WO-A-9525493).
  • a liquid barrier which prevents liquid spreading from the upper sheet of the absorbent body from its front to its rear part, either completely or to a substantial extent.
  • the embodiments illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 include an absorbent body 3 which comprises three different sheets or layers, an upper acquisition layer 18, an intermediate storage layer 19 and a bottom liquid-dispersion layer 20.
  • the acquisition layer 18 is conveniently comprised of an absorbent material having a relatively large pore size, high wet resilience and low liquid-dispersion ability, such as mechanical cellulose fluff pulp, thermomechanical or chemithermomechanical cellulose fluff pulp (CTMP), chemically stiffened cellulose fibres, synthetic fibres, absorbent foam material, etc.
  • CTMP chemithermomechanical cellulose fluff pulp
  • the major part of the absorbent material in the storage layer 19 is comprised of fluff pulp or some other fibre material of relatively small pore volume and high liquid-dispersion capacity.
  • Chemically produced fluff pulps which are comprised of fine fibres of essentially pure cellulose, generally have a high liquid-dispersion ability.
  • Fluff pulp for instance CTMP pulp, compressed to a density greater than about 0.12 g/cm 3 , also has a relatively good liquid-dispersion ability.
  • Another material which exhibits good liquid-dispersion properties is compressed dry-formed sheet pulp of, e.g., CTMP, or chemical pulp. Such material is described in WO 89/00605.
  • Absorbent foam materials may also be used.
  • the fibre material in the dispersion layer will preferably comprise mostly of chemical fluff pulp, dry-formed sheet pulp in accordance with the above, or of some other fibre material that has good dispersion properties.
  • the acquisition layer and the storage layer may include a certain amount of superabsorbent, whereas the dispersion layer is preferably free from superabsorbent or contains only very small quantities of superabsorbent
  • the front part 18a of the acquisition layer 18 is thinner than the rear part 18b thereof. In the Figure 4 embodiment, this increase in thickness takes place in a single step, whereas in the Figure 5 embodiment the thickness of the acquisition layer increases successively from a region that lies immediately behind the anticipated wetting point of the diaper.
  • the thinner front part 18a has a higher density than the thicker rear part 18b.
  • the higher density of the thinner front part 18a is obtained automatically when compressing the absorbent body, due to the reversed thickness relationship of the underlying storage layer 19, provided that this layer has a higher compression resistance than the acquisition layer 18.
  • the compression resistance of a fluff pulp body depends on the type of pulp concerned and the amount of superabsorbent contained therein, among other things.
  • said front part 18a will have a smaller mean pore size than the rear part 18b. Since the capillary force increases with decreasing pore sizes, the liquid discharged to the front part of the receiving layer 18a will not spread to the rear part 18b to any great extent, but will be transported immediately into the underlying storage layer 19. The rear part 18b of the acquisition layer will thereby remain mostly dry.
  • a mechanical liquid barrier 21 may be provided as a complement to the difference in pore size, e.g. in the form of a plastic strip or a strip of some other liquid-impervious or hydrophobic material provided in the acquisition layer 18, between the front and the rear parts 18a and 18b. Such a mechanical liquid barrier 21 will prevent liquid leaking to the rear part 18b of the receiving layer should the front part 18a be temporarily saturated.
  • the liquid barrier 21 may be separate from or integral with the barrier 11 or 17 in the top sheet.
  • the difference in pore size between the front and the rear parts 18a and 18b of the acquisition layer can be obtained by differences in the density between said parts, although a difference in pore size can also be obtained with one and the same density by using different types of fibre material in the different parts.
  • Polymeric foams of varying pore sizes can also be used in addition to fibre-based absorbent materials.
  • a liquid barrier can also be provided in the acquisition layer 18, by compressing a stripe in the material.
  • the liquid barrier will not extend through the full thickness of the absorbent body, but will be restricted to its upper sheet or layer. This will enable liquid to still spread in the bottom layer of the absorbent body, i.e. in the storage and the dispersion layer. It is important that the upper surface of the absorbent body proximal to the wearer is kept dry.
  • Another advantage that can be obtained by keeping the upper layer of the absorbent body dry in the rear part of the diaper is that this will enable different types of top sheet to be used in the front and in the rear part of the diaper respectively.
  • a conventional casing material can be chosen for the front part, this material isolating the skin from the liquid in the absorbent body, while choosing a hydrophilic absorbent casing material for the rear part, this material being suitable for absorbing loose faeces, for instance fabric or nonwoven comprised of rayon, cotton or other hydrophilic natural fibres.
